Sampling with the MASCHINE Plug-in in Logic

This article explains how to sample into MASCHINE from an Audio- or Software Instrument track within Logic Pro.

Load an instance of MASCHINE on a Software Instrument track.

Select a Bus as the output of the track you want to sample.

Open the MASCHINE window and select the same Bus as your Side Chain.

Go to the sampler area in MASCHINE and open the Record tab, then select Ext. In the Input menu, select Input 1 L+R.

If the track you want to sample is already playing, you will see an amplitude on the level meter. Activate the monitor button to listen to the signal.

Adjust the Threshold value. When the START button is clicked, recording starts once the input level exceeds the threshold.

Click STOP to stop recording. The recorded sample appears in a small box below the waveform window and can be dragged and dropped to Sounds from there or be deleted by clicking on the small X in the upper right corner of the box.
